Avoiding Overspending & Heartache

More Insights & Reading

I highly recommend reading these three threads for more information and context on summoning odds:

• How much should I spend?- HotM cost, and odds, analysis

• [WARNING] A Summons Experience - Chasing Guardian Panther - A Warning for Chasing Heroes

• https://forum.smallgiantgames.com/t/what-exactly-is-a-gacha-read-before-posting-things-about-unfair-pulls/29490?u=playforfun

If you’ve read them a million times before, you may consider reading them again before deciding on your budget for summoning. A little time spent deciding on how much money you want to risk on summoning goes a long way to avoiding disappointment, frustration, and regret later.

I recently drew Boldtusk to get the toon & glass versions. He’s a S1 that I still use, and now can do even moreso. Though C2 is at 1.1, original and C1 are leveled, and I’m fixin to raise in order, toon, glass, then C2.

Some day I may rejoin an alliance, and when I do I look forward to putting these heroes to use in wars once again.
